U.S. News & World Report recently announced their picks for
the 2017 Best Cars for the Money Awards. And at Keyes Honda, we are proud to say the Honda CR-V, Honda HR-V and
Honda Fit each took home the top honor in their respective categories*. The
2017 Honda CR-V won the
top position in the subcompact SUV category, the Honda HR-V retained its top
position in the subcompact SUV category and the Honda Fit earned first place in
the subcompact car segment, which marks the third year in a row the Honda Fit
has won**.

The U.S. News & World Report Best Car for the Money awards
highlight the cars, trucks, SUVs and minivans that give drivers the best of
both worlds: value and an outstanding ownership experience. Each award winner
has the best combination of quality and value in each of their respective
classes.

U.S. News & World Report measures quality by using data from
their car rankings, which includes unbiased, consumer-focused car shopping
advice. Combining their own set of tests and opinions to rank vehicles, U.S.
News & World Report analyzes every published and credible review of a given
model, and combines that analysis with hard safety and reliability data. To
measure value, U.S. News & World Report teamed with the pricing experts at
TrueCar to find out the average prices people are paying for new cars right
now. To get a long-term picture of how much each car costs to own, they worked
with Vincentric to gather total cost of ownership data, which includes things
like the cost of gas, insurance and repairs over five years. Pricing and
ownership costs data are then combined to get a clear picture of each model’s
overall value.

If you are in the Los
Angeles, CA area and would like to learn more about these award-winning
vehicles, the team at Keyes Honda
is here to help. We will walk you through our inventory filled with the latest Honda cars and you can see for
yourself why the Honda CR-V, Honda HR-V and Honda Fit are great vehicles.

* The 2017 CR-V, HR-V, and FIT have all been recognized by U.S.
News as the Best Cars for the Money in their respective classes due to their
long-term value and quality.

using every day. At Keyes Honda, we want our customers to feel completely

only with a test drive can you truly get a feel for yourself of the difference
between vehicles like the Honda Accord and
the Honda Civic.

Before visiting the dealership, we recommend having a few models

technology features work, and how do they enhance the driving experience?
Please give yourself plenty of time for the test drive in order to properly
review the vehicle. Remember, that in order to take a car on a test drive, you
will need to bring your ID and driver’s license.

If you’re like us at Keyes Honda, you may
still be looking back to last week’s Super Bowl LI and thinking of its
thrilling finish. We know the Super Bowl is all about the game, but we have to
say we loved the half-time performance and all of the amazing adverts! We admit
we may be biased, but the brand new commercial for the all-new 2017 Honda CR-V left us feeling nostalgic and
excited to share with our Van Nuys, CA
area customers all the new features found on the 2017 Honda CR-V.

Titled “Yearbooks”,
the spot takes viewers back in time through a look at the high-school
dreams of famous celebrities before they were household names, and the spirit
that drove them to chase those dreams. The ever-popular Honda CR-V turns 20
this year and Honda wants to remind viewers of “The Power of
Dreams,”and how it has inspired the vehicle’s
evolution into the best-selling SUV in America. We can’t believe that it
has already been 20 years since the Honda CR-V was first introduced during
Super Bowl XXXI!

The Honda CR-V has continually set the standard for efficiency,
practicality, and driving fun and the new 2017 model continues that legacy.
What’s new this year is bold new styling, a more premium
interior, a turbocharged engine (the model’s first!) and a
host of new features and technologies aimed at maintaining the Honda CR-V’s
status as the outright benchmark in the highly popular compact SUV segment. The
2017 Honda CR-V also expands the application of the Honda Sensing™suite of advanced safety and driver-assistive technologies, now offered
as standard equipment on EX and higher models.

If you are wanting to buy a new
Honda and the Honda CR-V sounds like the vehicle for you, then stop
by our Van Nuys, CA area Honda
dealership and let our expert team walk you through the new features and set
you up for a test drive.

At Keyes Honda,
we are proud of how Honda is constantly pushing the boundaries of new vehicle
technology and taking steps to do what is right for the environment. Just last
week, the Honda brand and General Motors Co. announced the establishment of the
auto industry’s first manufacturing joint venture to mass produce an
advanced hydrogen fuel cell system that will be used in future products from
each company. The automaker and GM have been working together through a master
collaboration agreement announced in July 2013 that established the
co-development arrangement for a next-generation fuel cell system and hydrogen
storage technologies. The result? An integration of both companies’development teams and shared hydrogen fuel cell intellectual property to
create a more affordable commercial solution for fuel cell and hydrogen storage
systems.

Fuel cell technology addresses many of the major challenges
facing automobiles today: petroleum dependency, emissions, efficiency, range
and refueling times. Fuel cell vehicles can operate on hydrogen made from
renewable sources such as wind and biomass. Water vapor is the only emission
from fuel cell vehicles. In addition to advancing the performance of the fuel
cell system, GM and Honda are working together to reduce the cost of development
and manufacturing through economies of scale and common sourcing. The two
companies also continue to work with governments and other stakeholders to
further advance the refueling infrastructure that is critical for the long-term
viability and consumer acceptance of fuel cell vehicles.

Many of the latest Honda cars
have focused on sustainable energy, like the Honda Clarity Fuel Cell, which
received the best driving range rating from the EPA of any electric vehicle
without a combustion engine with a range rating of 366 miles and fuel economy
rating of 67 mpg highway*. In addition to current and future fuel cell
vehicles, the Honda brand also produces a line of exceptional hybrid vehicles,
like the new Honda Accord.
We know our Los Angeles, CAarea
customers are big fans of this great vehicle.

We can’t wait to see what comes next from
this exciting venture!
